Product Description
Lush green rolling hills. Majestic snow-topped peaks. Breathtaking canyons framed by rugged wilderness. Merely describing the touch of God's hand in creation can't do it justice. People must see it to believe it. This spectacular gift book features the photographs of John MacMurray, an internationally recognized photographer whose work has appeared in National Geographic, Sierra Club, and Audubon Society publications. His photos are accompanied by personal reflections or quotes from Scripture and nature lovers including Albert Einstein and John Muir. What a glorious display for home or office!

A terrific coffee table book March 13, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
In the world of coffee-table literature there are many choices. Few are of the quality of By Chance? The Chrisitan influence on the book is not so much dogma as thoughtful reflection by various thinkers and authors, and john MacMurray's thoughts in the introduction set a pleasant tone for a slow visual read of this powerful, and quite attractive book. By Chance makes a wonderful gift for religious or nature-loving friends. The images are not easily beaten by any dozen landscape-photography books on the market. This is a title that will begin conversations, and speak volumes to the warmth and pleasantness of your home.
Stunning photography! February 16, 2000

Nature's breathtaking beauty is skillfully photographed in this awe inspiring book. Presents a convincing case in favor of creation over various scientific theories that try to discount the idea that god created heaven and earth. There isn't much text (I read this from cover to cover in about thirty minutes), but the quotes, scripture and editorial content are a perfect compliment to this fantastic book. I wish that it was more pages! Please publish a sequel.
Great book! January 5, 2000

A friend of mine was given this book and I just saw it today. It has great pictures (many of them of Oregon). There are also great quotes to go with the pictures - C.S. Lewis, etc. Looks like a great gift idea to me.
One of the most beautiful coffee table books around. February 12, 1998
A truly stunning book. John MacMurray's photos are remarkable. Each page will leave you breathless. There is no other book that I would want on my coffee table before this one.
